Tips

June 29, 2024

De Pluimpot is a small but fascinating nature reserve on Tholen. You can access it via some accesses to the walking paths with information boards such as here. You can also access it via the parking lot at the tiny beach and the village. On the other side of the road you see a sign for a piece of nature, Tholen Dorpsbos St. Maartendijk, but that is only a small piece of green and not really a forest.

Back to De Pluimpot. You can read everything about the nature reserve on this link: zeeland.com/nl-nl/visit/190_nl/natuurgebied-de-pluimpot There you can see that the Pluimpot was one of the largest channels when Tholen still consisted of small islands separated by channels.

De Pluimpot was even the sea channel that divided Tholen in two after all the salt marshes had already been reclaimed. Already in the sixteenth century, people started to dam the Pluimpot and the last part was closed in 1957. Today's nature reserve was created after that damming and is therefore a dammed creek where you will find many water birds (and others) and also a specific flora. Binoculars are useful with all those birds. There is a wooden bridge over part of the creek and there are paths that run all the way next to the water, to or from the area around the Sint-Maartensdijk swimming pool.
